Spoilers are the worst! They are no fun. There's nothing like trying to watch something that people like to ruin for you. I like to see it in all it's entirety, without overthinking and anticipating. Nothing like the element of discovery and surprise.

That's why I watched the season already. Didn't want to accidentally be spoiled!

I know I'm in the minority, but I really don't mind spoilers. If the storytelling is good, I can get just as deeply involved even if I know some of what to expect and sometimes it helps me watch for certain things or people.

I think about Agatha Christie's, Murder on the Orient Express. The outcome is supposed to be a MAJOR surprise; I guess it is upon first reading, which for me was so long ago, I don't recall if I figured it out early. However, I have read the book at least 20 times and watched the film even more than that. I get as much enjoyment from it as I ever did even though there is nothing I don't know by now.

I guess I prefer repeat viewings of the episodes to being spoiled. I like discovering the things I missed before. At this point, I am rewatching the last season, and I couldn't be happier.
